Our typical approach to a project is to divide our work into three phases.

Phase I is a preliminary assessment of the project. We meet with the client team to familiarize ourselves with:

• project scope
• Schedule
• Budget
• Contract documents
• Key issues

The goal of Phase I is to evaluate the issues and determine if a more detailed analysis, or Phase II, is warranted. If so, we recommend an approach and prepare a detailed work plan and budget for Phase II.

Phase II consists of detailed review and analysis of the key project issues. This may include:

• CPM Schedule Analysis
• Review of Time Extension Requests
• Change Order and Cost Evaluation
• Labor Productivity Analysis
• Issue Analysis
• Contract Document Reviews

Phase III is the presentation of our findings. This may be done in written and/or oral reports. We prepare summary charts, graphics and multi-media presentations to convey complex issues as simply and concisely as possible. Our findings are presented in a variety of forums including:

• Management Meetings
• Dispute Review Boards
• Mediations and Other Legal Proceedings
